    CARFAX Report

    well yeah everything is right except this AZ ownership and DMV info. It has me as a CA owner just the wrong number of years. I know for a fact the title and registration were always the same the entire time I have had it registered here since 2002.

    Rough Idle Changed O2 Sensor

    i did reset the code. the 304 still came up it said cylinder 4. I guess it would be a good idea to check the plug for that. How do I know which is cylinder 4? And no I have not started using ethanol. But im in colorado, and i understand that 10% of all fuel here has ethanol in it. I just got...

    Rough Idle Changed O2 Sensor

    Well I did my board searching and came up with nothing really conclusive. For the past week I have had a rough idle. It went from every so often to now all the time. Ran the codes, got a P0304 misfire and a bad 02 sensor. Changed the 02 sensor, I think it helped a little. I'm also getting that...

    Motorcycle Carrier

    Well I think I got one of my questions answered . I now think I have the class II hitch with the 1 1/4" receiver. (Is that what was factory for the 97 xlt?) I assume I can just get a 2" adapter? I still have the question of how much I should go over that 300lbs tongue weight capacity. I hear...
